Bug Description

Special effects, i.e. Rad Beams, Magnetron/Sonic Waves, and possibly Electric Bolts and Lasers, always get drawn from the PrimaryFireFLH coords regardless of which weapon actually fired them.

This is easy to fix code wise, but there's a related problem with unmodded compatibility - the Magnetron doesn't have a SecondaryFireFLH set, meaning with the FLH fix enabled, its anti-building wave gets drawn from the wrong coordinates. (I imagine some of the IFV modes are also going to be affected.) I'm reluctant to add special workaround code for this issue, but I want to hear your opinions on this.

Could be fixed with a useprimaryflh=yes tag.

Or just have SecondaryFireFLH default to Primary if secondary is not specified.

Resolving fixed. Mod authors are going to have to specify the FLH themselves because autosetting it would cause too many issues.
